E
1. Insert a thin object* into the hole and slide in the direction indicated by
the arrow.
•This will cause the print head to release the disc so you can remove
it from the printer.
2. The release lever will return to its original position automatically.
*Use an object that is at least 30mm (1-3/16") long and no thicker than
1.5mm (1/16"). Do not use a toothpick or other object with an easily
breakable tip.Doing so creates the risk of printer malfunction.
■Opening and Closing the Cassette Cover
Press the cassette cover release to open the cover.
Important!
•Take care when opening and closing the cassette cover, and never try to
force it past its normal range of movement.Excessive force creates the risk
of malfunction of and damage to the printer.
Power Requirements
Depending on your printer model it may come either with an AC adaptor and
power cord, or with eight AA-size alkaline batteries.
•For a model that comes with an AC adaptor
You can run the printer by using its bundled AC adaptor to plug it into a
power outlet.
•For a model that comes with batteries
Load the eight batteries that come with the printer.
Using the AC Adaptor
UseACadaptor (AD-A12280L) when youwanttoplug intoa household power
outlet.
■To connect the AC adaptor
Important!
•Use only the special AC adaptor (AD-A12280L).
•Whenever switching between battery power and AC adaptor power, be sure
to first turn off the printer. Only then should you connect the AC adaptor or
load batteries. Connecting the AC adaptor or loading batteries while the
printer is on can cause power to turn off automatically and result in loss of
text data you are working on.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.
To close the cassette cover
•When closing the cover, hook it onto the printer at the location shown in the
illustration and then swing the cover closed.
•Press down on the cassette cover until you hear it click securely closed.

■To disconnect the AC adaptor
Important!
•Never disconnect the AC adaptor while a printing operation is in progress.
Doing so creates the risk of printer malfunction.
•Neverdisconnect theACadaptor orremovethebatterieswhile theprinteris
turned on.Also, make sure that the display is completely blank after turning
offthe printerbeforedisconnectingthe ACadaptor or removingthebatteries.
Disconnecting the AC adaptor or removing the batteries at the wrong time
can cause loss of text you are working on, as well as data you have stored
in printer memory.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet (1), and then unplug the AC
adaptor from the printer (2).
21
•Take care that you do not excessively bend
or twist, or pull on either end of the power
cord (points marked A and B in the
illustration).Take care that the power cord is
not bent excessively at these points when
storing the cord. Any of the conditions
mentioned above can cause breaks in the
wiring of the cord.
Using Batteries
Note
•Theprinter canrun oneightAA-sizealkaline batteries.Be sure touse alkaline
batteries only.
1. Turn over the printer and remove the bat-
tery cover.
•Never bend or twist the battery cover,
or otherwise subject it to rough
handling. Doing so creates the risk of
printer malfunction.
2. Load a set of eight new batteries.

Memory Data Backup
•Neverdisconnectthe ACadaptoror removethebatteries while theprinter
is turned on.Doing so can cause loss of text you are working on, as well
as data you have stored in printer memory.
•Be sure to keep separate backup copies of all important data you have
stored in printer memory.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Important!
•The printer may suddenly turn off during printing if battery power goes low.
Because of this, use of the special AC adaptor (AD-A12280L) is
recommended to power the printer.
•Becauseofthe affectcoldhasonbatteries,the“LOWBATTERY!”mayappear
prematurely when the temperature is below 10˚C(50˚F). If this happens,
move the printer to a location where the temperature is within the operating
temperature range (10˚C to 35˚C (50˚F to 95˚F))
•Never disconnect the ACadaptoror remove the batterieswhile the printeris
turned on.Also, make sure that the display is completely blank after turning
offthe printerbeforedisconnectingthe ACadaptor or removingthebatteries.
Disconnecting the AC adaptor or removing the batteries at the wrong time
cancause lossof textyou areworkingon, as wellas textandpreset phrases
you have stored in printer memory.
•Whenever switching between battery power and AC adaptor power, be sure
to first turn off the printer. Only then should you connect the AC adaptor or
load batteries. Connecting the AC adaptor or loading batteries while the
printer is on can cause power to turn off automatically, resulting in loss of
text data you are working on.
Battery Life
•Printing of approximately 150 discs*
Normal temperature (20˚C (68˚F)), one printing per disc.
*When printing text or graphics that contain large areas of black, and
printing under cold temperatures can shorten battery life for label printing.
•Be sure to replace batteries at least once every two years, even if you
do not use the printer during that period.
